Winning films from the festival are helping to increase awareness and support for key health issues worldwide.
With an average of 1150 submissions each year from 110 countries, the films are increasingly being used by other institutions and partners for health promotion and education, and future synergies are being explored with WHO Academy and WHO Behavioural Insights programme .
It’s not just someone making a film, it’s someone watching a film,” said WHO Executive Director of Health Emergencies Programme, Dr Mike Ryan, film festival juror in 2021.
“This is exactly how WHO should be transforming: Transforming how we engage with the world and this festival is just one example of how we can change our mindset.”
